Gut Reaction is also involved in publicity and promotional work to raise profile of emetophobia includes BBC radio interviews, Granada Television film, many magazine features and press coverage of emetophobia. Emetophobia was largely unrecognised until late 1990's but is now listed as the sixth most common phobia in UK, USA and Australasia.
